Panchang in Wuping, Chongqing, China Thu 29 Jan 2026

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Thu 29 Jan only, at 07:39: Thu 29 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 19:06 Wed, before it (06:03–07:39).

Jaya Ekadashi: every date in Wuping

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 120°–132° is the 11th, Shukla Ekadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:39 here. Dashami ended at 19:06 Wed, before it. Ekadashi ends at 16:25, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 19 Jan, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Wed 28 Jan ran from sunset 18:21 Wed to sunrise 07:39, 13 h 18 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 53 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:39 to 18:22, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 20 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:22 to 07:38 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 39 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Rohini spans 40°00′–53°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 50°. It leaves at 10:01, for Mrigashira.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 284.8° + 51.9° = 336.7°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 333°20′–346°40′ is the 26th, Indra. It ends at 22:57, then Vaidhriti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ekadashi is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija ended at 05:47, when the lead reached 126°; Vishti runs until 16:25.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:39 to 07:38 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

An amanta month runs from new moon to new moon and takes its name from the rashi the Sun is in at the new moon that begins it: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 13 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 17 Feb, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.

A purnimanta month runs from full moon to full moon, so its waning half comes first. It shares its name with the amanta month that its second half falls in: the new moon of 19 Jan, with the Sun in Makara, began Magha. This Shukla paksha reads Magha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 29 Mar 2025, 18:57 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 300° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2082; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1947.
